In D&D, A PC became king. How do I keep him in check? @SevenSidedDie Again: in some cases. If the factions are strong enough and are already balanced, a puppet who can be made to believe he's ruling (or convinced to just lay back and enjoy the benefits while shadow masters run the state from the background) can actually be worth keeping for everyone... for a while, at least. |

In D&D, A PC became king. How do I keep him in check? @ObliviousSage Maybe, maybe. Unless, you know, some of the evil nobles are really happy to have this new King whom they can help and influence and mobilize (like the good puppeteers they probably are) against their ages old noble rivals. I'd think this scenario more likely than all the evil nobles (hey, they're evil) suddenly putting aside their feuds and joining forces against such a nobody. Not to mention that secret polices also tend to love monarchs whose strings they can pull. What do you think? |

In D&D, A PC became king. How do I keep him in check? I think it would be good to see a bit more in the Q about the kingdom itself. (Okay, it's evil. But how evil is it, how much power does its king hold, and what forces does he control? Is it a kingdom of four towns on a smallish island? Or is this new king a kind of Joffrey Baratheon? Or a Saruman... or Sauron, perhaps? :)) |

In D&D, A PC became king. How do I keep him in check? Err, since it's an evil kingdom (see the Q), the rebels don't necessarily stand a chance - otherwise the kingdom would've quite likely been through a successful revolution or two. (Or maybe I'm just tired and my logic is flawed. In that case, sorry. :)) |

Mutant Chronicles: Luna City and Moon physics @Pureferret I haven't seen the movie, and considering what I've read about it, don't even plan to, but afaik the movie was only (very, very) loosely based on the rpg. Here's a funny forum where people discuss what MC was: forum.rpg.net/… :) We played it in the "Lovecraft in a noir retro-future / 1950s" way, like many other groups. |

How effective would a mech be in a city environment? @Problematic +1, even though I don't entirely agree. Because a lot depends on what those streets are made of. Especially in the WH40k universe, where cities can indeed be bastions of defence, afaik. :) |

How do I fix this plot hole? @Trajan Ok, I get that. In this case, tell them they are definitely immune to the memory wiping (they got nano-vaccinated against it or something) - but everyone who could've told'em about it so far seems to have been affected. :) |

How do I fix this plot hole? "one of my PCs wondered why he had never before heard about the cybernetic arms and memory-wiping technology this company has at its disposal." Err, what was your question? :) |

How does nWoD's Secret History chapter relate to the other core books? @Jadasc Thanks! Should you perhaps write a review of it all someplace outside rpg.SE, let me/us know. :) |

Can you use a Spelljammer ship to get to Ravenloft? And if it became its own domain, with its captain (or someone) as its Dark Lord, it could easily be allowed to travel the spheres... but its Lord would never be able to leave the ship, his prison. Never, ever. Everyone else, yes. Imagine the stories. |

What is a Corruption Test? Right, I have to admit that you also have some good points there... :) |

What is a Corruption Test? I'm not sure I agree with that. In general, these "darker" aspects of the game (and their workings) and the characters are better left a semi-secret in the LM's hands. Sure, YMMV. :) |

Earthdawn: What are Barsaive's jungles like? @Xabei: Thank you, that was really in-depth and excellent. I've accepted your answer. :) As for Phil's point, I think he's probably right. It would be good to hear a mod's opinion, though. As far as I'm concerned: Xabei, feel free to cut back the quotation to a paragraph or three, at most. The reference to the source is there, so we (those interested in the question and the answer) can find it. Thanks! |

How to make players care about a community Closely (rather closely) related, imo: What are the key considerations to creating compelling environments? |

Where can I find a non-Lovecraftian medieval religious horror game that will inspire dread in my players? Also, your beginner vampires are barely more powerful than a human - yet they know (not just believe) that there are things that go bump in the night. Things like themselves, but way more frightening, with unknowable powers bestowed upon them by hellish agencies. |

Is there an (online) SRD for Cthulhu d20? @JeorMattan If you could support with some official quote/link/etc its not having been released at all under OGL, you should turn this comment into an answer. :) |

How can I replace a player character with an impostor without alerting the group? The ultimate twist and balancer: Have the party stumble upon itself, every member bound and gagged and stripped. Imagine the surprise of all the rival master spies who each have taken over a different party member, believing the rest of the guys to be the genuine stuff. Imagine the surprise of the party. Pure win. :] |

Games based on Eclipse Phase's world and/or system I guess you're right. I'll get back to this later then. And I'll definitely take a look at Nova Praxis. Thank you. |
